Today, Port Royal is known to post-medieval archaeologists as the "City That Sank".^[7] Robert Marx considers it the most important underwater archaeological site in the western hemisphere,^{[citation needed]} yielding 16th–and-17th-century artifacts and many important treasures from indigenous peoples predating its 1518 founding, some from as far away as Guatemala. Several 17th and early 18th century pirate ships sank within Kingston Harbour and are being carefully harvested, under controlled conditions, by various teams of archaeologists. Other "digs" are staked out along various quarters and streets by different teams.^{[citation needed]}
